00:00Mavis?
00:15Mavis!
00:19Yes, Miss Cherry?
00:22Go to St. Lawrence Market and get me a female bacon sandwich.
00:25I need a pick-me-up.
00:27You work so hard, Miss Cherry.
00:29Yes, I do. Now, sandwich.
00:45Are you Miss Louise Cherry?
00:47In the flesh.
00:48Mrs. Abby Smith, I read your paper. I need your help.
00:52Anything for my readers. Come in.
00:54My husband, Matthew, works as a meat cutter at the abattoir of Wexler Davies Company.
01:01An excellent business. I just sent my assistant out to get me one of their female sandwiches.
01:06Yesterday, Matthew went to work. Then later that day, the company sent me his body in a box. Said he just dropped dead.
01:13I'm sorry to hear that. Did you call the company?
01:20They gave me their condolences and insisted it was natural causes. But I'm convinced that police killed him.
01:27Really?
01:28Could you please find out what happened?
01:31You want me to look into this?
01:33I told the policemen at Station House 3, but they didn't think there was a case.
01:37My husband was the picture of health before he started there.
01:40I'm sorry. What would you have me do? Go after the police?
01:44I want you to find out how my husband died.
01:47I read all your articles. You're a great investigator.
01:51Of course I am. Then prove it.
01:56Well, has his body been buried? No. He's still at home for the week.
02:03Good.
02:06Can I have it?
02:16Came as soon as I got the call. What have you, Watson?
02:18The bank teller said he arrived this morning to find this.
02:22The vault?
02:24It cracked, but remained shut and intact. All that was taken was some loose cash.
02:29Well then, it's fortunate no one was hurt.
02:35Any thought as to what kind of explosives were used?
02:38Difficult to say, but given the localized obliteration, I would say a very high velocity explosive.
02:44Well, they didn't get away with much.
02:47Which means they may try again.
02:50And next time, innocent bystanders may not be so fortunate.
02:53Two local merchants said they heard the explosion shortly before seven this morning, but they didn't see much other than smoke.
03:08Seven a.m. Most of them would have been closed at the time.
03:09Which is why thankfully no one was hurt.
03:11And also why we have very few witnesses.
03:13Hmm.
03:16Mr. Boudreau?
03:17shortly before 7 this morning,
03:19but they didn't see much other than smoke.
03:227 a.m. Most of them would have been closed at the time.
03:25Which is why, thankfully, no one was hurt.
03:27And also why we have very few witnesses.
03:42Mr. Boudreaux.
03:43Detective.
03:45I haven't seen you since the trivia competition.
03:47Yes, the competition in which you tried to trick me.
03:51I believe I succeeded in tricking you.
03:54What exactly are you doing here, Mr. Boudreaux?
03:57I work in the neighborhood.
03:59You don't say.
04:01I got a job in a warehouse not too long ago.
04:04And what were you doing this morning?
04:08You think I had something to do with that?
04:10Well, we do have a criminal record of multiple robberies,
04:14and significantly some of those robberies were at banks.
04:18That was the past.
04:20I'm an honest man now.
04:22Who just happens to be wandering around near the side of an attempted bank break-in?
04:26Because I work at Grundy's warehouse down the street.
04:30Good luck with your investigation.
04:32Good luck with your investigation.
04:41He was a meat cutter?
04:42Yes.
04:43Seems he and I are birds of a feather.
04:46Very funny, Miss Hart.
04:48Anything of note?
04:49Well, his organ tissues are unusually pale.
04:53Seems he died from low blood volume.
04:56Do you tell me more?
04:58He was severely dehydrated, which can cause hypovolemic shock.
05:02Dehydration?
05:03Are you sure?
05:04I'm certain.
05:05He had a cracked tongue and crusted nasal passages.
05:08And his upper respiratory tract was irritated from the water loss.
05:12That's very strange, isn't it?
05:14The man was only in his twenties.
05:15He shouldn't have died.
05:16Is there anything that could have caused the dehydration?
05:19Well, I suppose breathing in caustic chemicals could dehydrate mucous membranes.
05:25So he was forced to toil for months around toxic substances.
05:29Well, that's very possible, but it...
05:31It's also possible that his place of work could have caused his death.
05:35I didn't...
05:36And I'm gonna find out.
05:38Our constables already spoke to the warehouse workers.
05:41No one there saw anything.
05:42I want to ask them about Francois Boudreau.
05:45You suspect him?
05:46It can't be a coincidence that a former robber just happened to be nearby a bank bombing.
05:52Hello.
05:53Can I help you?
05:55Uh, Detective Murdoch, Toronto Constabulary, Detective Watts.
05:58You must be Mr. Grundy.
06:00I already spoke to your policeman.
06:02Yes, uh, I'd like to confirm if a Francois Boudreau works here.
06:07Why do you ask?
06:08Well, we have reason to believe he may have been involved in the attack on the bank up the street.
06:13And I suppose you think it's because he's done time in jail?
06:16You're aware?
06:18A bunch of my guys have served time.
06:21But they all turned a page.
06:25Um, can you confirm that Mr. Boudreau was working inside the warehouse, uh, shortly before 7am this morning?
06:31I can, indeed.
06:33Take a look at this.
06:39F. Boudreau.
06:41Clocked in today, 5am.
06:43Now, if you don't mind, I have work to do.
06:47Interesting.
06:53What's that?
06:55Mr. Boudreau was scheduled for a break shortly before 7.
06:59The time of the bombing.
07:01So Boudreau did have a pocket of free time.
07:05Well.
07:06He could have left the premises.
07:07Right.
07:08Find out his current address.
07:09Looking good?
07:11Stickness.
07:12Nice and neat.
07:13Nice and neat.
07:14Nice and neat.
07:15Welcome to the plant.
07:17Ms. Reed, was it?
07:18Yes, I'm Ms. Hilda Rito.
07:19Frank Bale?
07:20Yes, I'm Ms. Hilda Rito.
07:21Frank Bale?
07:22I'm your foreman.
07:23Nice and neat.
07:24Nice and neat.
07:25Nice and neat.
07:29Nice and neat.
07:30Nice and neat.
07:32Nice and neat.
07:36Welcome to the plant.
07:41Ms. Reed, was it?
07:43Yes, I'm Ms. Hilda Rito.
07:45Frank Bale?
07:46I'm your foreman.
07:47Yes, sweet.
07:48It's good to have you here.
07:50See, I prefer hiring women for this role.
07:53Why's that?
07:54Ladies have nimble fingers.
07:57Better suited to sausage stuffing.
07:59Follow me.
08:02Over here, we have the chopping.
08:05In the corner there, with all the paper, that's the packaging.
08:09And back there, that is where we do the killing.
08:12Seems like a tight ship.
08:14We process half a million hogs every year,
08:16including 300,000 world-class sausages that you are about to help prepare.
08:21Which brings me to one small warning.
08:23What's that?
08:24By the end of your shift, your fingers are gonna feel like pretzels from tying sausages.
08:29But don't worry, you'll get used to it.
08:36That's just the meat grinder misery.
08:39The machinery resets itself twice a day, 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.
08:44Mr. Davies.
08:46It's the big man himself.
08:48Hey, Frank.
08:49And who do we have here?
08:51This is Miss Hilda Reid.
08:53It's her first shift.
08:54Our female employees are some of our company's greatest assets.
08:57Welcome.
08:59Frank's a good man.
09:00You listen to him, you'll be as right as rain.
09:07Chuck, can I have you a moment?
09:10This is Miss Hilda Reid.
09:12First day on the line.
09:13Chuck Marston.
09:14Please do...
09:15Oh.
09:17I'm sorry, I think...
09:18You're fine.
09:19Chuck has done just about every job here.
09:20Now, would you mind showing Miss Reed the Ropes?
09:22Leave her with me.
09:24Shall we start?
09:26This will be your machine.
09:28This is the fresh minced meat.
09:31Pack it into the cylinder.
09:33Not too tightly or it'll jam.
09:35Go on.
09:36My fingers won't get caught, will they?
09:42This wasn't for my stuffing sausages.
09:45Oh.
09:51I'll crank it slow and steady.
09:58Twist it into six inch lengths.
10:00Once you get to the end, tie it off.
10:02Ta-da.
10:06You like your job here, don't you?
10:08You're damn right.
10:09I'm feeding the city, the country, all of Britain.
10:11How many people get to say that?
10:13There.
10:15So what did happen to your finger?
10:17I lost it in a meat grinder a few years ago.
10:20Don't worry, it didn't get into any of the sausages.
10:22At least I don't think so.
10:25How horrible.
10:26I've gotten used to it.
10:29So the work here is dangerous.
10:31It was my fault.
10:33An accident?
10:34Every job comes with risks.
10:37I heard a worker died here.
10:39Someone named Matthew Smith.
10:43It's just something I heard the workers chatting about
10:45while I was in line for my interview.
10:47His death was unfortunate.
10:49But the man was impatient.
10:51He should have paced himself.
10:53What do you mean?
10:54He thought he'd receive a raise if he worked faster.
10:57Everyone noticed when he started skipping breaks.
11:00I say he drove himself into the ground.
11:02Is it possible he died from inhaling airborne chemicals?
11:05Corrosis and irritants are not allowed in the abattoir.
11:08We can use hot water and scrapers to clean tools and surfaces.
11:12I did wonder why the air didn't smell as toxic as I thought it would.
11:15Now you know.
11:17Now hop to it, Miss Reed.
11:18Miss Reed, these sausages are not going to stuff themselves.
11:21Uh-huh.
11:22If Mr. Boudreau is involved, there could be explosives in his home.
11:40And why do you think he's involved?
11:43Past history.
11:44A leopard doesn't change his spots.
11:46John Locke would disagree.
11:47A man is born with a mind like a tabula rasa.
11:50Human nature isn't fixed.
11:51It's malleable.
11:53Well, you'll have to pardon me if I disagree with the empiricists.
11:56His apartment should be right.
11:58What are you doing here?
12:03Mr. Boudreau, we're here to search your home.
12:07What?
12:08You have no right.
12:09I know you were on a break when the Bank of Toronto was bombed.
12:13And you think in that scant fifteen minutes I had enough time to set up and detonate a bomb?
12:19Me voyant.
12:20Then where were you?
12:22I was in the public lavatory, relieving myself.
12:25You can check with the attendant if you like.
12:27And I have to tell you, if you enter my home, it's an unlawful entry.
12:32So you have something to hide, then?
12:34I'm merely exercising my rights under the law.
12:37Now, please, get out of here.
12:40Your actions continue to arouse my suspicions.
12:44Given your nature, that hardly surprises me.
12:51All right, gentlemen, let's make sure those workstations are spotless.
12:56Miss Reed.
12:57Miss Reed.
12:59Not bad for your first day, but I'm going to expect double the number of sausages by next week.
13:25Excuse me.
13:28Who are you?
13:32I'm Miss Hilda Reed.
13:35I just started working here today.
13:36And you are?
13:37Why are you down here?
13:39Funny, I could ask you the same thing.
13:42I simply got lost.
13:46I'm Arthur.
13:47That's Barry and Curtis.
13:52Is this soap?
13:57Why exactly are you hiding down here cutting up bars of soap?
14:01Can you keep a secret?
14:04I've been known to.
14:06We're making soap using lard from the abattoir.
14:09We sell it to apothecaries in the city.
14:12Think of it as a supplemental side job.
14:14More like stealing.
14:15We work all day on the killing floor, yet it's barely enough to put food on the table.
14:21I've got a wife and five kids.
14:23Please don't tell anyone.
14:25I won't.
14:27On one condition.
14:29That is?
14:31Tell me what you know about the death of Matthew Smith.
14:34Matthew Smith?
14:36I heard he died here just yesterday.
14:39Surely you remember.
14:40Of course I do.
14:42He fell dead near the end of his shift.
14:43Right on the floor.
14:44What happened?
14:47I'm an employee here now.
14:48I'm curious.
14:50I'm not a doctor.
14:51I don't know what happened.
14:53I do.
14:54He was trying to bite off more than he can chew.
14:56Barely stopped to rest.
14:58Worked himself to death.
15:00Me cutting isn't easy.
15:01Many men can't handle it.
15:02Remember Jimmy?
15:04Oh yeah.
15:05Who's Jimmy?
15:07Jimmy Ganting.
15:08He used to work here not too long ago.
15:11Go on.
15:12One day the place got too much for him.
15:14He just stopped showing up.
15:16He didn't even clean out his locker.
15:17Had new work boots and everything in there.
15:20And you've no idea what happened to him?
15:22I assumed he called it quits.
15:24Too bad.
15:26He was a bright young fellow.
15:28Where can I find this Jimmy?
15:33Mr. Ganting?
15:34Are you home?
15:57Mr. Ganting?
16:02Mr. Ganting?
16:03Mr. Ganting?
16:05Are you in this place?
16:14Mr. G dang dumb.
16:17Mr. G dining room?
16:20There he is,
16:21Mr. Gynae is very close.
16:23Is he dead so stray?
16:25Mr. Ganting has nothing to do.
16:27Mr. Gating muss Channel 3
16:28Oh, no.

17:28why did he stop working at waxler davies
17:31jimmy's a vegetarian we both are vegetarian
17:35why would a vegetarian work at a slaughterhouse
17:39essays on vegetarianism
17:49dr kingsford said those who eat flesh are responsible for the horrors of the slaughterhouse
17:54this inspired jimmy we believe that a wish not to harm animals naturally results when you recognize your relationship
18:01with them
18:02good for you that still doesn't answer my question
18:04why would a vegetarian work at a place like that
18:07he took the job to document the cruelty that went on there
18:10he said that if the public could see it for themselves it could change some minds
18:14and you really haven't seen him for the past two weeks
18:19no i have no idea what's happened to him
18:21you said you were a journalist
18:24i am

18:42you have my word
18:49watson
18:53i just spoke with a former associate of mr boudreau's and mr russell volk
18:57the two of them were both involved in that bank robbery a decade ago
18:59you think volk is behind this i don't know but he did say that he saw mr boudreau splurging at a bar last night
19:10apparently he ordered rounds of drinks for everyone and made mr volk wonder how he could afford such a thing
19:15you think it was the cash stolen from the bank of toronto
19:18detective murdoch
19:25chief constable brackenry
19:27mr boudreau
19:29yes i did speak with him he's a suspect in the attempted bank robbery

19:47at city hall claims that i am harassing him
19:51and the chief constable wants me to back off
19:54so are you going to
19:56dehydration
19:59yes mrs smith
20:01it appears that your husband declined to take breaks
20:04while doing strenuous work
20:06the overwork killed him
20:08if it's any comfort
20:11he was trying to get a raise
20:12he was thinking of his family
20:14i'd rather he become a thief and live than die among pigs

20:56frank bale
20:59the foreman at the plant
21:02he looks angry
21:04rager he found out about jimmy's project
21:07well i suppose this is the answer to my question as to what you are going to do
21:18boudreau remains our most viable suspect
21:25but if you don't care to be involved
21:28interesting
21:32that certainly looks like trespassing to me
21:35we may as well go down together
21:47mr boudreau

24:30i know what you told me
24:31i also know that you spent a great deal of money on frivolities

25:40i thought i told you butchers to watch what you threw in there
25:42look at the yellowing it must have been in there for weeks
25:45that is jimmy ganting
25:48you did this
25:49what are you talking about
25:51you knew jimmy was taking photographs of the place
25:53did you throw him into the grinder
25:54that's ridiculous
25:55i have a photograph of you attacking him
25:56how did you get that
26:10you are fired
26:12give me that
26:14what is going on here
26:15now
26:20what is going on here
26:21What is going on here?
26:25Your foreman pushed a worker into the grinder.
26:29Did you know about that?
26:31The devil are you talking about?
26:33My name is Miss Louise Cherry.
26:35I am the editor-in-chief of the Sentinel.
26:37Your workers are dying, Mr. Davies,
26:40and this time it's murder being covered up.
26:44Give me that.
26:50You get out of my plant.
26:51Now.
26:52And if you print a word of these curious lies,
26:54I will destroy you.
27:05Kills.
27:14Looks like the robber was able to blow the vault wide open this time.
27:18Was anyone inside?
27:19No, no.
27:20The bank was closed for lunch hour.
27:24I spoke too soon.
27:26I just talked to a bank clerk who returned from lunch.
27:38She says nothing seems to have been taken from the vault.
27:40Interesting.
27:42The body was found having faced the blast.
27:49Perhaps the dead man is the culprit.
27:52Explosives detonated earlier than he intended.
27:54It's possible.
27:56It's possible.
27:57Hopefully, Miss Hart can help identify the body.
28:02Mr. Boudreau, this is a crime scene.
28:05I'm a free man, detective.
28:06Mr. Boudreau, this is a crime scene.
28:07Just because you were released doesn't mean you're innocent.
28:09What does that mean?
28:11Mr. Boudreau, you could have accomplices.
28:12Mr. Boudreau, you could very well be delusional.
28:15It had nothing to do with this.
28:16All right, then leave.
28:18Mr. Boudreau, you know, I have extensive knowledge when it comes to explosives.
28:26You know what kind it is yet?
28:29I guess not, because if you did, you would have taken that opportunity to flunk your knowledge.
28:34Do you know what kind it is?
28:37I can tell that it's homemade.
28:40You know what?
28:41Take me to the body, and I'll help you with the case.
28:45Absolutely not.
28:46If you know something, tell us now.
28:49Remnants of the explosives may be embedded in the body.
28:53I took a look.
28:54I could give you some answers.
28:56What's in it for you?
28:57A chance to prove that I am innocent.
29:00And also, maybe the satisfaction of seeing the look on the detective's face when he realizes that I'm smarter than he is.
29:09I highly doubt that.
29:10So it wasn't the work and conditions that killed Matthew Smith after all?
29:17No.
29:17But I discovered someone who really was murdered.
29:20Jeez Louise, another dead man?
29:22I believe a foreman pushed a worker named Jimmy Ganton into a meat grinder, and Wexler Davies is trying to cover it up.
29:29What makes you think so?
29:31Well, he banned me from the factory when I told him.
29:34Well, perhaps he just thought it was a ridiculous notion.
29:36Anywho, now that I have time to write, I'm going to expose these people for murder.
29:41Louise, I thought you were just trying to sell papers.
29:43Are you really trying to take down this company?
29:46Why not?
29:46I can kill two birds with one stone.
29:48Well, be careful.
29:49It's a powerful company you're setting yourself up against.
29:52Well, I must publish this.
29:53My readers would be very interested to know that their sausages could contain bits of Jimmy Ganton.
29:58You don't have any evidence.
30:00They could sue you for libel.
30:02I'll get evidence.
30:23I'll get evidence.
30:53The explosives were nitroglycerin.
31:17Based on the oily shrapnel, I bet money on it.
31:20There could be residues of nitrates on the shrapnel if that's the case.
31:23We can test it in a solution of diphenylamine.
31:28Everything I learn about homemade explosive, I learn in jail.
31:31I highly doubt they had such books.
31:34Thank you for remembering that I'm excellently well read, but no.
31:37This knowledge came from other inmates.
31:40Detective, it isn't a perfect test, but based on this and everything else I see,
31:45I'd say Mr. Boudreaux is right.
31:47What do you say to that?
31:49You knew it was nitroglycerin because you were in on it with someone.
31:53Well, you're impossible.
31:55It's no wonder that the explosives detonated early.
31:58Nitroglycerin is extremely volatile.
32:00Violet?
32:01Louise?
32:02You smell like a butcher shop.
32:06Thank you, detective.
32:07Miss Hart, can you please verify that this bone belongs to a man?
32:11Miss Cherry, what is going on here?
32:14While undercover, I gathered evidence that a worker was killed at the Wexler Davies Company meat plant.
32:19They're covering up the murder.
32:20You mean that's...
32:21Yes, that's him, Jimmy Ganting, a vegetarian activist who secretly photographed the slaughterhouse.
32:26He went missing, and he turned up inside the meat grinder.
32:30Miss Cherry, do you have any proof?
32:33That's the proof.
32:38The shapes of these osteons are far too irregular.
32:41This is definitely not human.
32:43You sure?
32:44I am.
32:44Now if you'll excuse us.
32:46That's Arthur.
32:48You know this man?
32:49He's a meat cutter at Wexler Davies.
32:52Another meat cutter?
32:55How is a meat plant worker involved in bombing banks?
32:58What do you know about him?
33:01He struggled to make ends meet, so much so that he and two other workers sold soap made out of stolen factory lard.
33:08Soap?
33:10Yes.
33:12Nitroglycerin is made by using glycerin.
33:15It's a byproduct of saponification.
33:18Soap making.
33:19So, these workers could be responsible for making the explosives used in the bank bombings.
33:24Maybe Jimmy was killed because he found out they were making explosives.
33:28Miss Cherry, take me to where they were making the soap.
33:31Yes.
33:32And perhaps you should find some soap and some water yourself, Miss Cherry.
33:37Correct.
33:38This is where I saw them.
33:46Chemistry equipment.
33:50Is that?
33:55Nitroglycerin?
33:56Why would someone leave this extremely sensitive substance unsealed, uncovered, and unattended?
34:04This could detonate with the slightest shake.
34:08Um, what time is it?
34:14It's, uh...
34:15Ten to seven, Roy.
34:18Every day at seven, the factory floor shakes for a minute as the meat grinder resets.
34:23The workers meant for this to explode?
34:29The, the, the tremors would likely trigger the nitroglycerin and obliterate all evidence of their soap-making enterprise?
34:38You're saying this whole room could explode in ten minutes?
34:42The entire factory, Miss Cherry.
34:45We need to get out of here.
34:49The door's locked.
34:53Oh, it's a closet lock.
34:55It's very common for storage rooms.
34:58Can't be open from the inside.
35:01Don't tell me we're trapped.
35:03All right.
35:04What do we do?
35:20Ethanol.
35:2320 liters.
35:26And that's, uh, 32 kilograms by weight.
35:30Each one of these bottles of ethanol is 175 milliliters.
35:35That is 138 grams.
35:39Is this really the right time to be calculating?
35:41Ethanol can, uh, can desensitize nitroglycerin, making it less hazardous.
35:47But we need to dissolve at least 10% of it by weight.
35:51So that is 17...
35:5523 bottles of ethanol.
35:58And I need to pour every one of them into this.
36:02What if you kill us?
36:04Miss Cherry, unless you have a better plan,
36:07I suggest you take out one of those hairpins
36:09and start trying to pick the lock.
36:10Hmm?
36:20Ah.
36:22,
36:25we'll be right back.
36:25Who?...
36:26Who?
36:27No one better.
36:27See?
36:28Smellsidel isso.
36:29Come on.
36:29Go with this.
36:29Uh.
36:30No one better.
36:31Yes.
36:31Let's do it.
36:32I mean,
36:33I love it.
36:33What if you'll try and say to me,
36:35I'll try and say to you please,
36:36okay,
36:37what if you have a better plan?
36:38Eh?
36:39Good.
36:3912, 13, we have less than five minutes.
36:57Oh no, my hairpin!
37:07Miss Cherry.
37:09What is it?
37:11It's a body.
37:13We don't have time for that now.
37:21I got it! The door's open!
37:23T3.
37:28Let's go!
37:32Wait!
37:337-0-1.
37:42The nitroglycerin must be successfully desensitized.
37:45That dead man was Jimmy Ganting.
37:49Are you sure?
37:50I've seen this photograph.
37:52His lady friend confirmed it.
37:54So the bomb makers did kill him after all.
37:57We need to find them.
37:58I think I know where they are to me.
38:00Come on.
38:05Hi, pals.
38:07Oh, it's you.
38:09Where's Arthur?
38:09He's not feeling well.
38:13Are you sure you didn't just leave him at the bank?
38:16The two of you are under arrest for attempted robbery, destruction of property, and...
38:23The murder of Jimmy Ganting.
38:25What?
38:26Murder?
38:26Murder?
38:26Jimmy Ganting's body was found in a crate of curing salts in the basement.
38:33We didn't put him there.
38:34Why would we kill Jimmy?
38:35To silence him.
38:37After he found out about your bomb-making operation.
38:39We're telling you we're not murderers.
38:42We just wanted to make some money.
38:44We never meant to hurt anyone.
38:45Until one of your own died from a bomb that you made.
38:49Making explosives was never part of our initial plan.
38:52You made and sold soap from stolen factory supplies.
38:57But then you got greedy and went after the banks.
39:00No.
39:01We did make soap.
39:04We actually thought we might have a shot at setting up a proper business.
39:07But we got rejected for a loan at every bank in the city.
39:10And that angered you?
39:12Of course.
39:13We feed the city, but we can't get a leg up.
39:16I'm right it angered us.
39:17So you decided to get back at them.
39:19Wouldn't you?
39:20But when Arthur died, you changed course.
39:22And set up the explosion in order to cover up all evidence of your scheme.
39:27And that's all we did.
39:28Then what about Jimmy Ganting's body?
39:31We didn't know it was there.
39:33On my word.
39:39Be sure you fill this with sawdust before you move it an inch.
39:45Detective.
39:46I can assure you, nothing untoward is going on here.
39:49There are questions that remain unanswered.
39:52But be grateful your factory is still standing.
39:59I suppose I owe you an apology.
40:03You saved my plant.
40:04For now.
40:08Stop.
40:09What is it?
40:17Are those rubber bands?
40:19They are.
40:21I know whose knife that is.
40:25Jimmy would talk about animal cruelty.
40:27I thought, who the hell is this idiot?
40:29What is he doing here?
40:30That I saw him with a camera.
40:33You were worried he might harm the company.
40:36I tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't hear any of it.
40:39He argued.
40:41I saw my knife and...
40:42You know I've killed plenty of hogs before.
40:47Killing a man was...
40:50Different.
40:53But it had to be done.
40:56Why put him in the basement?
40:59I was going to move him later.
41:00Never knew those men were making soap down there.
41:03So you never got the chance.
41:05Those idiots.
41:07Whatever happened to honest hard work?
41:19I just read Miss Cherry's article.
41:22So they really did make soap out of factory lard.
41:25Resourceful.
41:26Don't go looking for any ideas, Mr. Boudreau.
41:29I have no interest in lard or explosives.
41:31But they really made a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
41:36I like that.
41:37Hmm.
41:39And we wouldn't have figured it out without your help.
41:45I wish to apologize.
41:50I acted rashly on my assumption that you were involved in this.
41:55So you'll leave me alone?
41:57Perfect.
41:58On the contrary, Mr. Boudreau.
41:59What if in the future I require your knowledge of miscellaneous, deplorable topics?
42:09Well, I guess I'd never turn down the opportunity to make you admit that I know something you don't.
42:17So you do believe leopards can change their spots?
42:22Even if they have faded somewhat?
42:25No.
42:26Driven by meager salaries, workers turn to illicit activities such as stashing fresh lard from the hogs they slaughtered with their own bare hands.
42:44They churn out explosives inside a clandestine dungeon of the very factory they're stealing from.
42:51Well, I'm glad you at least stuck to the facts and left out the part about a worker getting pushed into the meat grinder.
42:57The truce was enough.
43:00You know, Louise, for a moment I actually thought you cared about these workers, but this article paints them as absolutely fiendish.
43:06Really?
43:06I thought I wrote them as brilliant.
43:07Oh, good lord.
43:10You got these photos from vegetarians?
43:12Nice, aren't they?
43:14Miss Cherry, I want to thank you for publishing Jimmy's work.
43:17Unveiling the truth is what I was born to do, my dear.
43:19Perhaps he died for something.
43:21People ought to know the cost of what they put in their bodies.
43:25Oh!
43:28Miss Cherry!
43:29What?
43:30I made these myself.
